1. Luteinizing hormone: Luteinizing hormone is secreted by pituitary alkaliphilic granulocytes and is used to identify primary or secondary testicular hypofunction in men, and can also identify true or false precocious puberty in prepubertal children. The reference value range of luteinizing hormone is: 1.5-9.3IU/L.

2. Follicle-stimulating hormone: Follicle-stimulating hormone is a hormone synthesized and secreted by the pituitary gland. It is a glycosylated protein hormone. It was named after its stimulating effect on the maturation of female follicles. Later studies have shown that follicle-stimulating hormone is one of the most important hormones in both men and women, regulating a series of physiological processes related to development, growth, puberty, and reproduction. The reference value range of follicle-stimulating hormone is: 1.27-12.96mIU/mL.

3. Prolactin: The measurement of prolactin concentration helps in the diagnosis of hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction. Pituitary tumors can cause hyperprolactinemia, which is sometimes associated with male impotence. The reference range of male prolactin is: 2.64-13.13 ng/ml.

4. Progesterone: Progesterone concentration is used to determine whether ovulation occurs and the luteal function of non-pregnant women. The reference range of male progesterone is: 0.10-0.84 ng/ml.

5. Estradiol: For men, if they have feminization syndrome, breast feminization, or testicular cancer, their estradiol levels will also rise. The reference range for male estradiol is 20-75 pg/ml.

6. Testosterone: Testosterone, also known as testosterone, testosterone or testosterone, is a steroid hormone. Testosterone may affect many body systems and functions, including: blood production, calcium balance in the body, bone mineralization, lipid metabolism, sugar metabolism and prostate growth. The reference value range of testosterone is: 175-781 ng/dl.
